not so light side of entry:....but not tonight. Why? Because for the second night in a row, I can't breathe. It got really bad last night and it's really bad again now. Last night I took some Benedryl and it put me to sleep and I went through the day mostly ok. But as the night wore on, things got bad again. I keep coughing really hard like something's closing up my throat. I feel like I just can't breath and that there's something way low in my throat and inside my lungs (like really abbrasive fur or something. I don't know how to describe it.) It's awful and I'm getting worried about how much difficulty I'm having breathing and speaking. Last night I almost completely lost my voice. Today, even after a hot cup of tea with honey, it's still way reduced and scratchy. My nose has been running and I've been sneezing, but I don't feel like I have a cold. (It's not running anywhere near enough to be a cold, it's more like an allergy or something though I don't know what is in the house that I'm suddenly allergic to in the last two days.) I don't know of any allergies I have that would cause this throat/breathing issue (my only allergies are things like surgical tape because it melts my skin; nothing respiratory or anything). I'm really getting worried. Last night I passed it off as a fluke, but two nights in a row...? It's just really not good. I think I may take some more Benedryl, try to get some sleep and hopefully whatever it is will pass.
Non-smoker. Not around smokers. No new animals around (been around cats for about 14 years and never a problem). No new carpet. No new furnature. No change in anything that I can think of. And still, something seems to be making my throat constrict.
Dammit all to hell.
